Been thinking about this all week. Good timing on the post.

Old pipes in the Princeton Park area — can confirm. We had a main break on our street last year. Water was shooting 10 feet in the air. City had it fixed in about 4 hours but it was dramatic.

Sharing this with my neighbors. They need to see this.

QT on PGBT is clean, fast, and the gas is cheap. Plus their kitchen food is surprisingly not terrible. The breakfast taquitos at 6am before the DART are my guilty pleasure.

the JuCo path is a real option. do 2 years at a JuCo program, develop your skills, then transfer to a 4-year program. several successful college wrestlers have taken this route

Day 2 of estate sales (Sunday) at 50% off is my strategy. Sure, the best stuff is gone but I'm not looking for the best stuff — I'm looking for good stuff at great prices. Picked up a whole set of Lodge cast iron for $15 last month.

the honest answer: do a free trial class at a BJJ gym, a muay thai gym, and a boxing gym. whichever one makes you want to come back is the right one. the best martial art is the one you will actually show up to

Avoid the Meineke on Lakeview. They quoted me $600 for rear brakes on a Civic. I went to Garcia and it was $150. Same work, same quality. The chain shops count on you not knowing what things cost.

This is exactly why I love this platform. Real DFW conversations.

Bayside is the best value play right now if you believe in Sapphire Bay. We bought in 2022 for $365K and comparable homes are selling for $420K now. When Sapphire Bay opens, the appreciation potential is significant.

you will never feel ready. i waited an extra 6 months because i didnt feel ready and then my first match lasted 45 seconds and i won by armbar. you are more ready than you think. your coach knows better than you do

The volunteers who came from all over DFW to help clear debris saved this city. Thousands of people showed up with chainsaws, trucks, gloves, and water. People we had never met were pulling drywall out of our yard. That is DFW at its best.

Houston always has something going on. Love it.

Dallas-Fort Worth always has something going on. Love it.

i almost quit muay thai at month 2 because i couldnt throw a proper roundhouse kick no matter how many times the coach showed me. kept going out of stubbornness. month 5 my kick clicked and my coach said "there it is." stayed for 4 more years

$3M on economic development — I want to know exactly what that's producing. What businesses has it attracted? What's the ROI? The city should publish a scorecard.

I installed a "No Soliciting - This Property Protected by Video Surveillance" sign by my front door and the number of random knocks dropped to zero. A $5 sign from Amazon is a surprisingly effective deterrent.

If they actually pull this off and we get a swimmable lagoon, waterfront restaurants, and a resort hotel five minutes from my house in Waterview, my property value is going to the moon. Big if.

I've been waiting for someone to bring this up. Here we go.

The barbacoa trailer is the hardest one to catch because it is not there every week. But when it is there on a Saturday morning, the barbacoa is worth planning your entire weekend around.

First-time buyers in Dallas-Fort Worth need to see this thread.

Can someone from the north side weigh in? Curious if it's the same up there.

the journeyman system in boxing is one of the weirdest things in all of sports. guys whose literal job is to fly to a different city every few weeks and lose. they have losing records by design because promoters bring them in to pad their prospects records. its a whole ecosystem

First-time buyers are in a tough spot. This thread is important.

Real fans know the deal. Let's hear the takes.

The 2015 tornado rebuilt homes are actually some of the nicest in the city now. Modern construction, better insulation, newer everything. Look for them specifically.
